Videos What happens in a situation like this?

Entitled prick blocks a bus because she supposedly wasn't let on. A fire truck is behind - full lights blaring but refuses to move. No space for the truck to pass due to the congestion.

Would anything at all be able to be done? It's times like this that really piss and stress out firefighters, and I'm sorry people like this exist. Hopefully a big charge came her way, but nothing new as of yet as this happened yesterday I believe.

The reason it says call police emergency is likely because the operator pressed the button. It calls their dispatch and their dispatch calls police. They could also radio in to ask for police. At least that’s how it works in my city.
